Subject: Docket 00P-0586CP2 Illegal MPC added to our cheese
My name is Gail Carstensen from Browerville MN 56438. My husband and I are
dairy farmers. We are very much opposed to changing the ingredients allowed
in making cheese . Allowing foreign sorced dairy ingredients that are not
processed under the same standards sanitary-health as in the USA is
ridiculous. Are you trying to drive the American dairy farmer out of
business- especially the small farmer. We are getting devastating low prices
already for our milk and you the FDA are allowing foreign countries products
which are illegal to be put oin our cheese. Are you getting kickbacks from
countries like New Zealand or what? Please answer our questions and stop
this ruinization of the smalldairy farmer in this country. Kraft foods
doesn't care. What if this MPC is coming from cowswith the Mad Cow Disease?
Do you want to eat it or your family? Think about it please!! Please help us
out by opposing the use of MPC in our cheese. Thank you, Gail Carstensen,
Rt.3, Box 175, Browerville, MN 56438
